Where Colonel John Chivington led a force of mostly volunteer militiamen which slaughtered hundreds of indians, mostly women and children, and mutilated the bodies taking limbs and organs as trophies which they displayed at the Denver Opera House to a cheering crowd.
The Sand Creek Massacre (also known as the Chivington Massacre, the Battle of Sand Creek or the Massacre of Cheyenne Indians) was an incident in the Indian Wars of the United States that occurred on November 29, 1864, when a 700-man force of Colorado Territory militia attacked and destroyed a village of friendly Cheyenne and Arapaho encamped in southeastern Colorado Territory, killing and torturing an estimated 70-163 Indians, about two-thirds of them were women and children.
Surprisingly, Chivington was a Methodist minister. And, to make matters worse he used artillery on the village.
The location has been designated a National Historic Site and is now the National Park Service.

He lied and said it was a "glorious battle" however due to testimonies Congress found out what really happened, requested he be court martialed, tried, and punished. This request was ignored.
